I tried, it was far from satisfactory but still better than what 
kdevelop could give me. Completion features aside, code navigation in 
kdevelop is also an issue.

Fine, as long as we get something better than XEmacs in the end.

Yet kdevelop still can't indent code properly, nor navigate code 
properly. When I registered a wish for an outline panel restricted to 
the currently edited file, I got a reply telling me to use the 'classes' 
panel which is next to useless. Perhaps before adding features you 
should get the basics right.
